Public invited to participate in two-day free use of facilities on Sport For All Day 2026
*****************************************************************************************
"Stay Active, Healthy and Happy!" will continue to be the slogan of the SFAD 2026, encouraging people of different ages and abilities to regularly take part in sports and physical activities and build up a healthy lifestyle. With the 20th Asian Games to be held this September, the SFAD 2026 adopts the theme "Asian Games in Motion, City in Action", bringing the community together to celebrate the Games and cheer on Hong Kong athletes.
This year, the LCSD will for the first time open a number of leisure facilities for free public use for two consecutive days on August 1 and 2. These facilities include indoor badminton courts, basketball courts, volleyball courts, squash courts, table tennis tables, fitness rooms, activity rooms and dance rooms; outdoor tennis courts, bowling greens, baseball pitches, archery ranges and golf facilities; and public swimming pools and water sports centres (crafts hiring).
A series of free leisure programmes featuring Asian Games sports, such as wushu, handball, football, rowing, equestrian and skateboarding, will be provided at designated sports centres across the 18 districts on August 2 (2pm to 6pm). Fitness corners with sports demonstrations and fun activities for families, children, youngsters, the elderly and persons with disabilities will also be set up. In addition, the LCSD has choreographed a new set of fitness exercises to the SFAD theme song for public participation. The arrangements for booking leisure facilities and distributing activity coupons for free will be announced in mid-July.
The LCSD thanks for the continued support of the Sports Federation & Olympic Committee of Hong Kong, China (SF&OC), which will collaborate with the LCSD in organising various activities at the Kowloon Park Sports Centre, the prime venue of the SFAD 2026, on August 2. A number of organisations will also open their facilities or roll out leisure programmes for the public free of charge on August 1 and 2. The dedicated website (www.lcsd.gov.hk/en/sfad) will provide the latest information on the SFAD 2026.
The SFAD 2026 is co-organised by the SF&OC, Department of Health, the Sports Medicine Team of the Chinese University of Hong Kong, the Sports Medicine and Health Science Alumni Association of the Chinese University of Hong Kong, the Physical Fitness Association of Hong Kong, China, and the Sports Association for the Physically Disabled of Hong Kong, China.
